tire size help
I have a 71 with stock wheels. Currently the tire size is 255 70R 15. What are my options for tire size that will fit nicely on the rim. Not looking for bulging side walls or any thing that wont fit naturally. any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Re: tire size help
Check the FAQ section. Some people run 265 and 275 without any problems.

Re: tire size help
Thanks fellas. I think the 235 75r15 will work well on an 15X8 rim.
